INACCURATE NEWS ALERT: this news is actually from around 2012 and i'm having trouble finding a definitive source but check the comments to this post and i might have something idk

i did some detective puppy sniffing around the worst websites i've ever seen and found that yes, there was a bill this year, but the actual ability to defend against cops has been in law since 2012 and was only updated in 2022 to explicitly include "pointing a loaded or unloaded firearm".

not news as such but a PSA for american readers: the USPS is delivering COVID tests for free again. limit of 1 order per household, each order containing 4 individual tests, with shipping beginning next week.
expiration dates on existing tests have also been extended.
